When it comes to flooring, few materials offer the perfect blend of beauty, durability, sustainability, and value quite like terrazzo. Used for centuries, this versatile flooring solution remains a top choice for architects and designers seeking both aesthetic appeal and long-term performance.
However, until now, one element has been missing from the terrazzo market—an indigenous British option that seamlessly integrates heritage with modern flooring solutions. Enter Burlington Terrazzo.
At Burlington Stone, we take pride in preserving Cumbria’s 400-year slate industry and heritage. But our commitment extends beyond tradition—we continuously innovate to ensure sustainability remains at the forefront of our work. Our new terrazzo range, crafted in collaboration with market leader Quiligotti, embodies these principles, delivering a visually stunning product that offers an affordable way to specify British slate and stone in contemporary projects.
Why Choose Burlington Terrazzo?
There are a whole host of reasons why Burlington Terrazzo should be a serious contender in your flooring specification:
Unmatched durability
One of the key reasons to choose Burlington Terrazzo is its exceptional strength. Made from Cumbrian slate aggregates set in cement, this flooring solution is highly resistant to wear and tear. Unlike traditional tiles or wood flooring, terrazzo doesn’t chip or crack easily, making it ideal for public, commercial and residential applications. With proper maintenance, Burlington Terrazzo can last for decades, offering long-term value that few materials can match.
Aesthetic excellence with British Heritage
Burlington Terrazzo tiles bring a luxurious and unique aesthetic, elevated by the inclusion of our Kirkby and Broughton Moor slate aggregates. These stones, formed over 450 million years through the geological movements of the Lake District mountains, are quarried in Cumbria using a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern, sustainable technologies. The result? A flooring solution that is not only visually striking but also steeped in British natural heritage.
Sustainable and cost-effective flooring
Our Phase One Burlington Terrazzo tile range, designed for internal applications, incorporates Kirkby or Broughton Moor slate aggregates, recycling a by-product of our core stone business. The result is a durable, visually appealing 600mm x 600mm x 22mm floor tile, ideal for retail, office, and general commercial applications.
Looking ahead, our planned range expansions will include:
• A Burlington Terrazzo product engineered specifically for external paving applications.
• A range of pre-cast products tailored to meet bespoke specifications.
Let’s work together
If you’re looking for a sustainable, durable, and visually striking indigenous internal flooring solution at a fraction of the cost of traditional British stone options, Burlington Terrazzo is the perfect choice.
